About pinayironmom

Pinay Ironmom is a typical mom who wakes up before 6 am to prepare my 3 children for school. After this, I make my husband coffee, similar to the Nescafe commercial on TV of a couple's typical morning. Work is normally a tour of Northern or Southern Luzon to inspect projects we are building, checking quality of designs or preparation of presentations to prospective clients. My schedule is flexible luckily, I can squeeze in hearty lunches with my favorite lunchmate and training early in the afternoon or right after business hours. Weekends are bike days on Saturdays at MOA or Daang Reyna and Sunday is my me time - my long run day. Oh warm ups and stretchings are trips to the grocery, cool down is hearing mass and giving thanks to God for a wonderful week. This is ME :)

I would encourage her by giving her a challenge, “anything she can do, i can do better”. That way, it is not only she who gets the encouragement but me as well. In the end, we’ll both be engaged in sports or any other fitness activity which in turn benefit us both so we could live a healthier lifestyle.

“When I married you, I promised to grow old with you which I know you also promised to me. Now that I’m enjoying these various sports as a healthy lifestyle, I found out that it makes me feel and look younger. Can we remake those vows and simply promise to grow younger with you? We can do these stuffs [sports] side by side and enjoy the benefits of doing it. At the same time, we’re proving to ourselves that we are keeping our vows day after day.” =)

If there is one aspect of our married life that I look forward to it is growing old together. That also means that we should be able to travel to different places and walk the sights that we have yet to see and discover. We promise not to be a burden to each other physically for as long as we both have healthy practices, lifestyle and exercise. That also includes making love! Haha!

I am honestly not into sports at the moment, because like any woman’s typical excuse, “I have no time”. But, I’m writing a reply to this blog so I can win this shirt for a very special girl, who is very much into biking. So I would say that the best way to motivate a woman, like me, to get into sports is to do it with someone special. I may not have time now, but I know for sure that if I receive an invitation from that someone special to join her in her sport, I’d be happy to. Support is also important because a woman who wouldn’t have time for sports might be clueless about the things she needs to have for this kind of sport. Lastly, follow through. Making it into a habit would definitely keep a woman’s enthusiasm for sports and before you know it, she had discovered the fulfillment in doing sports on her own. So going back to why I initially answered the question, I can also say that this shirt will definitely motivate me to do sports. 🙂

10 ways on how mountain biking has made me a better person:

2. I’ve lost an inch off my waistline.

5. My legs look shapelier.
6. My tummy doesn’t bulge too much.
7. I can fit well in my clothes again.
8. I’ve been to new, beautiful places.
9. I’ve met new friends along the way.
10. And best of all…I’m a much happier JOY! 
I’m 38 years old and I just started last year. I’ve crossed rivers, biked on rocky roads, grueling uphills, nerve-wracking downhills, and slippery muddy trails…every ride gives me the confidence to take on new challenges. This isn’t just a hobby…it’s an adventure of happiness!

Most girls are conscious w/their figures..and i think as a psychology graduate i use it to motivate them…by using reverse psychology..in a way they will ask me how to be fit..and i recommend to them to go on sports..e.g. running..and i will accompany them because i too run and join fun run…and winning the free training will help me level-up..love it…

How do you get a woman into sports? There are many ways on how to get a girl to sports.

In my own perspective, women are event- oriented. Try to do this. First, ask her to join sports events that are in nowadays, like watching basketball games at Araneta Coliseum, joining in Fun Runs, and others. In this way, their mind will get stimulated and will soon be stirred, getting hooked to this events. That’s how my brother entised my sister to join a fun run. Now, my sister is frequently jogging in Canada.

Second, I think women wanted to stay into sports to become fit. State to her that getting into sports stimulates something (like it stimulates the cells of your body to let insulin enter your body, preventing diabetes mellitus), or getting into sports makes you go sexier, and so on. You may also do the other way around. Like for example. If you do not get into sports, your muscles will get weaker, and can cause muscle problems such as muscle tenderness, and so forth.

Third, most women, in my perspective, wants to get into sports because they want to get along with their crush, liked person. If you know that this girl likes you, introduce this kind of sport to her, and surely she will get along with you. (=
